I wanted a solution to add a Facebook Like Button to every image in a WordPress Photo Gallery for a voting contest and I used the gallery shortcode function in WordPress to accomplish it. Do you know of a better way to do this? The result is a Facebook Like button beneath each caption on the photo gallery page.
Add this to your functions.php file.
[php]
// Filter gallery shortcodes to include Facebook Like button
function fb_gallery_shortcode($attr) {
global $post, $wp_jerm665_locale;
static $instance = 0;
$instance++;
// We’re trusting author input, so let’s at least make sure it looks like a valid orderby statement
if ( isset( $attr[‘orderby’] ) ) {
$attr[‘orderby’] = sanitize_sql_orderby( $attr[‘orderby’] );
if ( !$attr[‘orderby’] )
unset( $attr[‘orderby’] );
}
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order ID’,
‘id’ => $post->ID,
‘itemtag’ => ‘dl’,
‘icontag’ => ‘dt’,
‘captiontag’ => ‘dd’,
‘columns’ => 3,
‘size’ => ‘thumbnail’,
‘include’ => ”,
‘exclude’ => ”
), $attr));
$id = intval($id);
if ( ‘RAND’ == $order )
$orderby = ‘none’;
if ( !empty($include) ) {
$include = preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9,]+/’, ”, $include );
$_attachments = get_posts( array(‘include’ => $include, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => $order, ‘orderby’ => $orderby) );
$attachments = array();
foreach ( $_attachments as $key => $val ) {
$attachments[$val->ID] = $_attachments[$key];
}
} elseif ( !empty($exclude) ) {
$exclude = preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9,]+/’, ”, $exclude );
$attachments = get_children( array(‘post_parent’ => $id, ‘exclude’ => $exclude, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => $order, ‘orderby’ => $orderby) );
} else {
$attachments = get_children( array(‘post_parent’ => $id, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => $order, ‘orderby’ => $orderby) );
}
if ( empty($attachments) )
return ”;
if ( is_feed() ) {
$output = "\n";
foreach ( $attachments as $att_id => $attachment )
$output .= wp_jerm665_get_attachment_link($att_id, $size, true) . "\n";
return $output;
}
$itemtag = tag_escape($itemtag);
$captiontag = tag_escape($captiontag);
$columns = intval($columns);
$itemwidth = $columns > 0 ? floor(100/$columns) : 100;
$float = is_rtl() ? ‘right’ : ‘left’;
$selector = "gallery-{$instance}";
$output = apply_filters(‘gallery_style’, "

$i = 0;
foreach ( $attachments as $id => $attachment ) {
